Where does all the noise go?

Answer 1

I guess you're referring to the fact that there is no noise in space. The fact is that noise isn't created in space. Noise is just a vibration of air molecules that reaches your ears. In space since there is no air to vibrate the noise is never "created" it just doesn't exist.

Answer 2

The amplitude of the sound wave in the air deceases with distance from the source so it becomes so small that it vanishes.

Its like the ripple on the water when a stone is thrown into the pond. The waves become lower in height as the ripple expands out until it vanishes.

Radio and microwaves are different in the sense that they radiate into space. The strength of the signal decreases with distance but they can be caught and amplified up to where the original can be heard.

Answer 3

well sound needs a medium to travel through, air usually, without that it doesn't work. so i once thought of this too, if sound just gets quieter and quieter how would it end, wouldn't i just continue to get more quiet until nothing could hear it.

but then i realized, sound is just vibrations in the air, and eventually the sound waves don't have enough energy to move the atoms in the air, so it stops.

and if your referring to space there is no sound because like i said before, sound needs tot ravel through something, and in space there is no air.

Answer 4

I suppose it gradually loses volume as the compression of molecules caused by the sound waves transforms sound energy to heat.

Answer 5

Your question is rather ambiguos. If you mean why does sound 'dissapear' after a certain distance it is because sound wave energy is being converted into other forms mostly heat.

Answer 6

Heat

Sound compresses air and that heats it up.
